“I was selected by the U.S. government Diversity Visa Lottery system in May 2013. Adjusting here has been difficult, but I’m starting to get use to it. I currently attend The City College of New York and want to earn a Ph.D. as a computer scientist. I invite every Khmer students who graduated abroad and Khmer Americans to join together to help rebuild our country’s education.”
